Abstract

The aim of the paper is to identify the employee benefits that university students of agricultural field of study prefer and expect in the future employer's offer. The goal is also to identify potential gender influences on the students' preferences of the employee benefits.The survey was conducted in the years 1998-2015, with a total participation of 1,633 students. Based on an offer of potential employee benefits and personal preferences, students have identified the benefits that employers should offer to their employees. The most frequently required benefits include: Meal tickets; on-site parking; additional salary (extra wage); use of company car for private purposes; payment for language courses; extra week of holiday; contribution to pension insurance. At present, there also grows the popularity of the "flexible working hours" benefit. For the most preferred benefits, the influence of the student's gender on the employee benefit preference was not identified. One of the recommendations for prospective employers is also the use of a flexible employee benefits system - cafeteria system.
